Weapon mass destructions (armed attacks in schools or
concert halls) continue with increase worldwide [1] Avoiding
these attacks by the governments effectively would reduce
social concerns and improve peace and welfare. With no doubt,
it is impossible to foresee the behaviors of approximately 7.6
billion people worldwide [2]. A murder is a complicated and
difficult situation for both the family of the murderer and the
victim.

No rational man would involve in a weapon mass attack. The
brain works by transmitting chemical and electrical stimuli from
one neuron to another, and forms an internal communication
network [3]. Neurons include many molecules that play a role in
this communication system such as serotonin, noradrenaline
(norepinephrine; secreted as a response to stress and provides
attention, motivation and satisfaction), dopamine, endorphin,
oxytocin, vasopressin, acetylcholine (attention and stimulation),
gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) and histamine [4]. Serotonin
(obsessions and compulsions), which can be produced by human
body, is an indispensable neurotransmitter for the psychological
balance of the body. [4]. Dopamine (playing a role in depression)
is a neurotransmitter involved in the prize and pleasure center
of the brain. Patients with schizophrenia are given antipsychotic
drugs that block dopamine secretion [5]. As understood from
the data above, impairment the transmissions between neurons (synapses) may result in destructive outcomes event they are
instant (acute) or long-term (chronic) [3]. These molecules do
not necessarily act perfectly all the time. When the chemical and
electrical communication network in the brain is impaired,
situations such as fear, concern, caution, irritation, flash-backs,
feeling of being humiliated, emotional anesthesia, will of
dominance, tendency to violence, displeasure, panic disorder,
inability to empathize with others and impaired social relations
(scopophobia) appear.

People may use anti-depressant drugs in such situations.
Some of the anti-depressant drugs are easily accessed without
prescription in some countries, with the suggestions of the
relatives. However, depression is just like any other disease. It should be a legal obligation to use anti-depressant drugs under
the recommendation, control and follow-up of a specialist
(psychiatrist). Patients using anti-depressants may quit the
obsessions they had previously, and tend to deactivate the selfjudgement
of their behavior and attitudes against certain events
(for example they can easily be a legal warrantee to somebody
else) [6]. All drugs, including anti-depressants have side effects
at least minimally [6].

Therefore, the question ‘What the actual capabilities are of
people using anti-depressants legally?’ arises. Despite my brief
literature research, no legal sanction defined by countries was
detected in the details. To be able to have capacity to act in the
front of universal laws, 1) person must be of full age, 2) have
power of judgment and 3) must not be limited (such as arrested,
mental disorders). In case the individuals meet this criterion,
that means he/she has full capacities. If one is full age (adult),
but has no power of judgment, he/she is completely incapable
(for example mental disorder). If one is not adult and has no
power of power of judgment, he/she is completely incapable
(for example a child of 2 years). If one is adult and has power of
judgment, but limited capacities (for example drug addict or
schizophrenia), he/she has limited capability. If one has the
power of judgment has no limitation, but is not adult, he/she
has limited capability legally again [7]. Therefore, here It has
been suggested when the items of the legislation are considered
together that, when individuals with impaired brain function use
anti-depressants to improve the biochemistry of the brain, they
should be evaluated for actual capabilities [8]. Because an adult
may have limitations (such as anti-depressant usage) and his/her
power of discrimination may be impaired or disappeared at all
related to the medication. It has been proposed that when lawmakers
consider this situation, a fairer environment will be
provided for the judgement of individuals.

The chemistry of the brain is responsible for the movement,
speaking, thinking, discriminating and coordinating abilities of
the body via molecules that play role in inter-neural
transmission such as dopamine, serotonin and GABA
epinephrine [3-5,8]. Here It has been therefore suggested that if
countries define a map of cerebral biochemistry including normal distribution of these molecules for each individual, and
keep these data in a database to analyze them with certain
intervals (6 months, 1 year, or other defined intervals),
deviations of these molecules from normal status would give
important data to treat the individuals before possible weapon
mass attacks. Because a healthy brain would never attempt a
weapon mass attack. Furthermore, it has been suggested that
legal situations of people under medication of anti-depressants
due to impaired cerebral biochemistry are emergent problems
to be considered worldwide. It has been also suggested that
antidepressants and law courses should be put into curriculum
programs of medical and law faculties for judgement of people
who use. antidepressants drugs at worldwide.
